Miramar's Sachia Vickery is honored for national title

It's been quite a whirlwind week for Sachia Vickery, who on Sunday won the USTA Girls' 18s National Championship in San Diego.

Then on Wednesday morning, Vickery, 18, returned to her hometown in Miramar where Vice Mayor Alexandra Davis presented her with a city proclamation declaring Aug. 14, 2013 as, "Sachia Vickery Day.''

Vickery, who earned a wild card berth into the main draw of the upcoming U.S. Open, downed doubles partner, Davie's Allie Kiick, daughter of former Dolphins great Jim, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 in the finals. Vickery and Kiick won the doubles title to earn a berth in the doubles draw at the U.S. Open.
